Until the end of this year, La Monnaie is providing a free, guarded bicycle parking with fifty stands, in partnership with Cycloparking.
As part of our Green Opera project, La Monnaie is encouraging its audience to use soft mobility. Therefore, we organise a free bicycle parking system in collaboration with Cycloparking (Parking.brussels). On the Place de la Monnaie, near the rue des Princes, fifty guarded spaces will be provided free of charge for all ticket holders. The parking will be in use until the final performance of On purge bébé (29.12.22), and this from an hour before until half an hour after the performance.
As part of the worldwide Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the façade of La Monnaie was lit up in pink on Sunday, 19 October. Through this symbolic gesture, our house aims to highlight what is still insufficiently known about the disease.
During a literary encounter with J. M. Coetzee on the stage of La Monnaie, Christina Scheppelmann announced that the 2003 Nobel Prize winner in Literature is writing a libretto for a new La Monnaie opera, to be premiered in the 2027–2028 season: Elizabeth Costello in limbo.
Christina Scheppelmann, who became the first female General and Artistic Director of La Monnaie this season, has been nominated for the ELLE Woman of the Year 2025 award.
